Subject: x86/spectre: Add boot time option to select Spectre v2 mitigation
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=65b0a4285bfd8bfad9ec0cfa6df91c539c093744;p=pandora-kernel.git

x86/spectre: Add boot time option to select Spectre v2 mitigation

commit da285121560e769cc31797bba6422eea71d473e0 upstream.

Add a spectre_v2= option to select the mitigation used for the indirect
branch speculation vulnerability.

Currently, the only option available is retpoline, in its various forms.
This will be expanded to cover the new IBRS/IBPB microcode features.

The RETPOLINE_AMD feature relies on a serializing LFENCE for speculation
control. For AMD hardware, only set RETPOLINE_AMD if LFENCE is a
serializing instruction, which is indicated by the LFENCE_RDTSC feature.

[ tglx: Folded back the LFENCE/AMD fixes and reworked it so IBRS
  	integration becomes simple ]
